[IA64] Count disabled cpus as potential hot-pluggable CPUs
Have a facility to account for potentially hot-pluggable CPUs. ACPI doesnt
give a determinstic method to find hot-pluggable CPUs. Hence we use 2 methods
to assist.
- BIOS can mark potentially hot-pluggable CPUs as disabled in the MADT tables.
- User can specify the number of hot-pluggable CPUs via parameter
additional_cpus=X
The option is enabled only if ACPI_CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y which enables the
physical hotplug option. Without which user can still use logical onlining
and offlining of CPUs by enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
Adds more bits to cpu_possible_map for potentially hot-pluggable cpus.
